Two years ago, my family moved to a new city and I had to study in a new school. As I had few friends there, I felt lonely. Then I met Tony. The first time I saw him, he was standing in the center of a group of students, telling jokes. The children around laughed from time to time. Tony knew about my problem. He asked me to play basketball with his friends and helped me with my studies. We soon became good friends.

About a year ago, however, Tony's father was killed in an accident .As a result, his family had to move to a small house, Tony changed into a different person. He became silent and he even lost his interest in studies.

Several times, I invited him to go out and play basketball with me, but he refused. I wanted to help him, but didn't know what to do.

Then something strange happened in my class. Two classmates lost the money in their schoolbags.

Last Friday, just before the PE lesson, I went back to the classroom to get my running shoes I would use. The door was half open, I went in.

To my astonishment, I saw Tony was searching one of my classmate’s schoolbags. I was shocked.

People at home keep asking me, "Is it hard to learn Chinese? Why have you learned it so well?" Well, there's one thing that makes Chinese easy to learn: there are so many people to talk to. You've probably heard that it's the most spoken language. Today it's also one of the most written languages online. And with so many Chinese people interested in learning English, it couldn't be easier to find a friend for language learning. You just have to know where to look for them.

The really good place to look for them is QQ. QQ has the same status(地位) in China as AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) does in the US. It is reported that at any moment, up to 9,000,000 people are using QQ. They're at work, or in a web café(网吧), or at home, and the information of the users can be found. If you sign on with your address set to "abroad", you'll soon find that many thousands of them are interested in speaking to you! This is a great way for you to learn Chinese, and for them to learn English. I think that it's a very interesting way of cultural contact(文化交流), too, for ordinary people from around the world to be able to have one-on-one contact.
